Read the following >> Installation and maintenance instructions << carefully
before installing a Capacitor into your application.
The information stated in this manual applies to typical, approved usage. Please
refer to our product specifications, or request our approval for your own individual
specifications, before installing Capacitor
Disregarding the guidelines in this manual can result in operational failure bursting
and fire. In case of doubt, contact your local EPCOS sales organization or
distributor for assistance.
General safety notes for Ensure you are using the right Capacitor for your application, please refer to
installation and operation the EPCOS product catalogue and application notes for proper selection of
Capacitor and its configuration.
Maintain good and effective grounding for Capacitor
Provide the means to isolate any faulty units/ banks in the system
Follow proper engineering practices
Storage and operation
Conditions
Ambient temperature
The panel has to be stored with outer packing intact in a covered area under
protection from rain. The panel should stand in vertical position as indicated
in the packing crate.
: The ambient temperature category for most standard types is -40D. This means
a max. temperature of 55DegC, an average temperature over 24 hours of
45DegC, and the average temperature in one year should not exceed 35 Deg C.

When capacitors are mounted on an open structure
of angles and channels, their live parts are exposed
and accessible. Such banks are required to be
elevated to minimum 2.5 mtrs from ground level
by providing elevating structures or fencing is
erected all round the capacitor bank keeping
adequate clearances as given above to eliminate
the possibility of any one touching the live parts of
the bank. Elevating structure or the fencing should
be earthed as per IS:3043.
When capacitor has an external fuse protection it
should be ensured that fuse is connected to
individual capacitor unit. Do not connect one fuse
to more than one capacitor unit.
It should be ascertained that the breaker used for
capacitor switching is restrike free, if on-load
isolators are used for pole mounted capacitors or
for small banks, it should be ensured that they are
suitable for capacitor duty. Whenever off-load
isolator is connected between capacitors and the
breaker, it is advisable to interlock the isolator with
the breaker in such a way that the isolator can be
opened or closed only when the breaker is in open
condition.
When capacitors are directly connected to the
motors, it is advised that the capacitor current is
not more than 90% of the no load motor current.
Motor draws lesser current from the source when
connected with the capacitors. Hence its over
current setting should be reduced accordingly.
Unless specifically agreed capacitors are provided
with discharge resistors to discharge the capacitors
within 600 seconds to safe voltage. When
capacitors are required to be reswitched earlier
than 600 seconds PT/RVT can be provided for quick
discharge. PTs/RVTs have secondary winding which
can be connected to indicating lamps to show that
capacitors have discharged. When capacitors are
required to be reswitched within couple of seconds

Trouble
1. Leakage of oil from
capacitor bushing
or welded joints.
Cause
a) Minor transit damage
which remained
undetected.
3. Capacitor drawing
high current
Remedial action
a) For minor leakage apply
adhesive or solder on leaky
welded joints. if leakage does
not stop replace the unit and
refer to manufacturer for
possible repairs. (Refer Note 1)
b) Check & tighten the
connections to avoid tension
coming on bushing, repair
capacitor as stated above.
c) Refer Serial No. 2 for
action.
a) Poor ventilation,
b) Excessive ambient.
c) Drawing excessive
current.

less current.
5. Expulsion fuses
blowing too
frequently but unit

7. Abnormal
bulging/bursting.
8. Abnormal sound
and black marks
noticed on bushing
b) Harmonic current
flowing
b) It current beyond
permissible limit, switch-off
capacitor bank
and take remedial measures
to reduce harmonics flowing
in capacitors.
a) Low voltage,

with neutral protection is
not proper.

Important Notes :
The following applies to all products named in this publication:
1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for
certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical
requirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We
nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding
statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application. As a
rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar with them than
the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incumbent on the customer to
check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties described in the product
specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.
2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or failure
before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state
of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications requiring a very high
level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in which the malfunction or failure
of an electronic component could endanger human life or health (e.g. in accident prevention or lifesaving systems), it must therefore be ensured by means of suitable design of the customer
application or other action taken by the customer (e.g. installation of protective circuitry or
redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by third parties in the event of malfunction or
failure of an electronic component.
3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.
4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this
publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.
because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Material
Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more detailed
questions, please contact our sales offices.
5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this
publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product
specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications
contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order.
We also reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently,
we cannot guarantee that all products named in this publication will always be available. The
aforementioned does not apply in the case of individual agreements deviating from the foregoing for
customer-specific products.
6. Unless otherwise agreed in individual contracts, all orders are subject to the current version
of the General Terms of Delivery for Products and Services in the Electrical Industry
published by the German Electrical and Electronics Industry Association (ZVEI).
